Every year we take a big Spring Break trip, and it’s kind of crazy to think back to this one. Talk of the Covid pandemic was just in the beginning stage, and not severe enough for us to cancel our travel plans. It wasn’t until we checked into our hotel, did places start closing and the PR events planned were canceled. We will definitely schedule a trip back to do some of the activities we missed, but we still had such an incredible visit and explored quite a bit! Here’s what we did:
- WENT TO ZOO ATLANTA- This is such a beautiful zoo. It felt extremely clean, and had a lot of fun activities and shows, on top of the extended variety of species. There is also this great park that we are standing in, in the picture below, located right next to the zoo’s parking lot. Between the two, it is definitely a full day for kids!
We were originally planning on going to the World of Coca-Cola, The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and Stone Mountain Park. All three locations closed the day we were there due to Covid, but I love that we can plan another trip and have several places to check out next time!
2. EXPLORED THE CITY- Atlanta has so much to see, I actually loved the extra day to take it all in. PONCE CITY MARKET is a must, with a trendy food hall and a ton of great shops. We also went to the famous JACKSON STREET BRIDGE and had to get a burger and frosted orange from THE VARSITY.
3. TINY DOORS ATLANTA- I would have to say our favorite part of our time in the city was the Tiny Doors Atlanta scavenger hunt. These little doors, like the red one above, are scattered all over the Atlanta at some of the most popular places and biggest city monuments. See my TINY DOORS post for more details and all the spots we discovered!
4. PIEDMONT PARK- This 185 acre park is right in the heart of Atlanta and full of history, athletics, and more. It’s a great spot to pack a picnic with a loved one and spend a day outdoors relaxing.
5. GETAWAY HOUSE- The last few days of our trip were an absolute dream, thanks to Getaway House hosting us at their Suches, Georgia outpost. These tiny homes are fully equipped with everything you may need for your stay, with breathtaking views included!
A window covers an entire side of the tiny home, which makes you feel even more connected to nature. We loved the whole aesthetic, and spent our days hiking the Appalachian trail, making s’mores, and playing games together.
Even though our trip didn’t go as originally planned, our girls will never know. They’ll remember a vacation full of adventures, giggles, and quality time present with each other.
happy travels!
